CUTTING-CHART.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec 14:, 1915.

Application filed October 2, 1914. Serial No. 864,669

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SIGMOND G. WEILER, a subject of the King of Hungary, and residing at Milwaukee, in the, county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Cutting-Charts, .of which the following is a full and complete specification.

My invention relates to that class of devices which pertain to the art of cutting and fitting of garments and comprising work termed tailoring and dressmaking.

The object of my invention is to provide suitable means whereby any person may be enabled to cut and fit garments of: any size, style, or material without previous expert knowledge of the art.

Another object of my invention is to provide a system of cutting, whereby any kind or class of garments may be out and fitted from the one set of charts, which are to be accompanied by book or the like containing suitable description of the method of use and contain such notation as will enable any person to apply the description and the charts in the cutting and fitting of garments.

I attain these and other objects, which will be more fully pointed out in the specifications, by the set of charts illustrated in the drawings, in which the figure represents a chart which is used to draft the bodice or waist part of a womans dress.

Referring to the figure, I provide a chart made preferably of stiff material representing at A the front part of a bodice pattern and at B the back part of said bodice, said front part of the bodice pattern being formed by the shoulder top line C extending from the point e of the armhole outline D, to the point cl of the collar outline E, which extends in a curved line to the point e of the front line F, and this front line extends to the point 7 of the waist line G.

The back part of the bodice is formed by the shoulder top line H which extends from the point 9 of the armhole outline D, to the point it of the collar outline J which extends to the point y' of the back line K and this line extends to the point of the waist line Gr.

The outlines C, D, E, F, G, H, J, and K, are those of charts employed in the drafting of a bodice of a dress or suit corresponding with the largest bust measurement indi-.

cated on the said charts.

A plurality of lines f are marked upon the chart approximately parallel with the front line F and extend from the waist line G to the perforations e of the collar point line 6. At each terminal of said lines 7 are located the reference numerals 7"" which indicate the bust measurements to which each of said lines f and the line F corresponds, said reference numerals f reading 323-l36, and so on up to 52.

From the perforations c, and running approximately parallel with the collar out line E, are the lines 6 extending to the shoulder top line C, certain lines 6 being intercepted at a line 6*, located approximately midway between the line 6 and said shoulder top line C, by the perforations 6 V 7 Similar reference numerals f are located at the intersections of the lines 6 with the shoulder top line C to indicate the bust measurement with which said lines 6 correspond.

Extending around the armhole D approximately parallel to each other at their starting point from the front shoulder top line C and the rear shoulder top line H are the lines (1, which terminate at cl upon a line L extending from the front line F to the back line K, said line L at cl locates the underside of the armhole and constitutes a working line for placing the chart upon the pattern used for cutting. The lines d are intercepted at suitable points by the perforations 0 which are connected by the lines 0 and are provided with similar reference numerals 7" beginning with the number 32 at the line D and increasing in the successive even numbers to 52.

Running approximately parallel with the line K and beginning at the waist line G are the lines 70 which extend to the perforations j located on the collar point line j, from which extend the lines 7' running approximately parallel with the collar outline J to the shoulder top line H, said lines j being intercepted at a line j located approximately midway between the collar edge line j and the shoulder top line H, by the perforations 3' Similar reference numerals f" are located at the terminals of the lines is and 1' beginning with the numerals 32 and increasing successively in the even numbers to 52 at the collar outline J and the back line K.

Extending downward from the line Lat the point d, and terminating upon the waist line G, are the side bodice lines M and Nwhich are intercepted at a suitable point by the perforations m and a which are connected by the line a, said side bodice lines M and N forming means of fitting the I will use for the purpose of explanation the requirements of a bust measure of 36 inches. The chart, which is made of a size suitable for the full size requirements of the dress, is placed upon a sheet of paper of suitable size, paying particular attention to the working line L on said chart, the ends of the lines having the reference numerals 36 thereon as well as the corresponding perforations are then indicated upon said sheet of paper, after which the chart is removed, the indicating lines on the paper are,

then connected to the duplications of the similar lines on the chart. The pattern sheet may then be out along the outline so formed after the waist line G, the length of the front line F and the back line K have been determined by actual measurements of the person for whom the dress is to be made and fitted. The pattern so formed may then be placed upon the cloth, which is always laid double for this purpose, and said cloth is then cut to correspond with the out line of said pattern, the top shoulder lines G and H are then stitched together, the lines Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner K of both pieces are then :joined, the' front line properly trimmed and folded and the lines M andN joined together after'the cloth between said lines has been all or partly removed according to the fullness required in the bust and waist lines. 7 q Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A chartjfor drafting ladies garments and portions ofthe same consisting of a plurality of sections, each section includinp' body formed of stiif material having a base line and a top line and 'adjacent eachiend.

edge being provided-with regularly spaced parallel lines that terminate ad ac ent the top llne, said top line being connected to the parallel lines by parallel concavedglines, the.

junction of said lines being provided with perforations, and said conc'aved linesbeing provided wlthlntersecting hnes the polnts of intersection being perforated, the.

and have intersecting lines radiating therefrom, the points of intersection of the last mentioned lines being perforated, and said lines "beingprovided with measure indications. 7 V

In testimony whereof, I hereunto attach my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
